“On august 31, 2017 while I was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly. Fortunately I managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise I would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean Honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem. They identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #11021552, filed 2017-09, 51,000 miles“Vehicle would not start. Car engine cracked which is a safety issue and known issue to Honda for this model and year of the Civic. I had my three kids, including an infant in the car. Took it to Honda where they explained that there was an extended warranty that we had just missed.

The car had recently been serviced by Honda and the airbag recall was fixed. …”
